HR Giger

H.R. (Hans Ruedi) Giger may be the most famous artist to prolifically use an airbrush. The vast majority of his early paintings were done with thinned acrylic paints sprayed through an airbrush. He was very creative in finding objects to use as stencils such as machine parts and templates that he would use in a repetitive manner to create his fantastic and often frightening bio-mechanical creatures and landscapes.
